[Vwdiesel] brakes .. end of the road, motor for sale

[Shalyn Shourds]

The part initally described does sound very much like the proportioning 
valve.  $120 from the dealer last I checked (4 years ago).  So you 
should be able to get in cheaper.  There's some kind of adjustment to 
make to get your brakes balanced out.  Involves four pressure gauges, 
etc.  If I remember right, I just marked where the adjustment (the bolt 
in the slot) was on the old one and put the new one in the same place.  
Seems to be OK years later....
